    OK, how do I get the ugly-ass 'WARNING!!' stickers off the visors without wrecking the fabric and not having residue left over? Is it possible?

    Peel with heat (hair dryer) and little goo gone in a rag to remove the residue from glue

    Take them out of the Taco and steam them. There may be some residue leftover that GooGone or GoofOff can take care of.

    The more steam and the slower that you go, the better.

    I’ve got a total of SEVEN stickers on the two visors in my ‘20. I’d just like them gone.

    Steaming sounds safer that a heat gun. Have you done that tonered?

    No kidding, right? My 2020 visors look like the side of a friggin NASCAR car. I could live with it, but I'd rather not.
    Steaming sounds way safer than just blasting it with pure heat. If it takes awhile, eh, I don't care.
    I'm guessing there's probably no 'fix' for that clear 'pouch' on the drivers side, but I can live with that.

    Mine are grey, although 80% of the interior is black .. So I guess that would work...
    I just don't like 'decals' stuck all over everything. Call it a 'pet peeve' of mine ..;)

    No heat gun for me. I used a small steamer.

    To the dismay of all my French speaking passengers who do not know how to operate a seat belt without instructions, I too removed the said visor banners. I used a heat gun on low and kept my finger on the sticker so I could gauge the amount of heat. The stickers peeled off easy peasy in 30 seconds, maybe 20. But, the glue is another thang. I tried to remove the glue with GooGone, WD40, carb cleaner, soapy water, scrubby sponge, scrub brush.... and the results varied from mostly removed to mostly still there. There are two more decals on the inside that appear to be silk screened onto the fabric. These ain’t comin off. Unless you were brave enough to try acetone but I’m guessing that might eat the fabric in the process. I’m open to suggestions on glue removal.

    I wish there was a company out there that sold a replacement visor without the stickers on them and led vanity lights.
    Kinda like @MESO has for the turn signals in the mirrors. I hate chrome and I will pay to get rid of it. Lol
